The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 522: Encountering danger again, the origin of apprentice Huang Jing
Riding a bicycle early in the morning, I came to the locomotive depot.

As soon as I entered the passenger transport workshop office, I saw a lesbian wearing the uniform of a locomotive depot employee.

The lesbian was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with smart short hair, neat clothes, and a slightly shy smile...

He has a ponytail on the back of his head, has a well-proportioned figure, and is wearing a maintenance uniform. He looks very energetic.

Li Aiguo looked at her for a long time before he recognized the girl's identity, and his mouth couldn't close.

"You are the ice cream girl at Jincheng Railway Station. Huang Jing!"

Huang Jing was carefully reading the employee handbook. After hearing this, she raised her head and smiled sweetly at Li Aiguo, shouting: "Master!"

"master?"

Li Aiguo looked at Huang Jing and was a little confused.

When he saw Cao Wenzhi's comrades in the driver's team winking at him, he suddenly understood.

Therefore, before driving, even if the comrades in the maintenance workshop have checked it, as the train driver, you still have to check it again. "

She is the apprentice chosen by the locomotive department.
Duan Chang Xing is harming people.

It's just that Huang Jing is here now and can't be driven away.

"Patriot, I have an old friend who works as a cook in the Road Construction Corps, and that guy is fair and fat.

"Okay, there's no need to write it down. The train is like the train driver's wife."

"It's a mule or a horse. You'll know if you pull it up and run around."

Huang Jing wiped the sweat from her forehead with her dark hands, nodded heavily, picked up her notebook and prepared to write it down.

Li Aiguo did not step forward to help him, but just said slowly:
“If parts are to be driven on the main railway line and fall off on the track, it will cause huge safety hazards to passing trains.

But the work of the apprentice stoker is too hard and tiring.

"Master, don't worry, as long as I can learn to drive a train, no matter how hard it is, I am willing." Huang Jing puffed up her chest and said with great force.

It's just that things are a little different today.

Huang Jing's petite figure made it easy to get under the train for inspection, but it was a bit difficult for her to climb up the escalator with a large gap in the train.

The co-driver, Liu Qingquan, lit up a cigarette as usual and talked about all kinds of weird things while looking around.

The dispatcher reminded: "Driver Li, it's raining heavily at the military ration station. Duan Nei reminded us to reduce the speed."

Li Aiguo signed his name on the dispatch document handed over by the station dispatcher and handed it back.

Those people thought that because he was fat, he must have good genes, so this guy was locked in a cave and bred as a "stallion" for a month! "

The key is that a position like a train driver is really not suitable for lesbians.

Li Aiguo did not underestimate Huang Jing.

This guy was transferred to build the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway and was kidnapped in the mountainous area.

I met him a while ago. What a good guy. In less than a year, he has become as thin as a stick. guess what?

Driving a train is still a physically strenuous job, and it is difficult for lesbians to have the physical strength to run a train.

"I don't drink, Master"

In the past, Li Aiguo and Lao Zheng would always praise Liu Qingquan twice to express their encouragement.

Li Aiguo looked at Huang Jing and felt that this metaphor was inappropriate. After a moment of pause, he said: "In short, you have to remember this necessary procedure even if you are drunk."

Captain Bai saw Li Aiguo's reluctance and explained with a smile: "Driver Li, this is Duan's decision. We are about to start the train now. I have already applied for an additional ticket for Huang Jing, so I will let her follow first." Let’s take a ride together.”

Liu Qingquan then remembered that Huang Jing was currently serving as a stove stoker's apprentice and was standing next to the furnace shoveling coal. He made a huge blush at that time.

[Apprentices are the additional staff who enter the cab of Tentaxi. They are a type of Tentaxi, and normal procedures require formal procedures]

"."

After checking the locomotive, train 131 has arrived at the departure time.

Li Aiguo couldn't help but frown, and decided to wait until the end of the journey to find Duan Chang Xing to find out what was going on.

Female comrades can hold up half the sky, and Li Aiguo will not look down on female comrades.

"Understood." Li Aiguo waved his hand at the dispatcher, sounded the whistle, loosened the brake, and slowly pushed the steam valve.

He looked at Huang Jing and said: "You are an apprentice now. According to the regulations in our section, you need to start as a stoker's apprentice."

Huang Jing stood up and said, "Master, do you remember what I said? I want to be an excellent train driver like you."

A large boiler is burning inside the steam locomotive all day long. In summer, the temperature inside the locomotive can reach as high as 40°C, which is difficult for gay men to bear, let alone lesbians.

Master Zheng coughed twice and said: "Comrade co-driver, there are lesbians here."

Her originally fair cheeks were smeared with oil, but instead of being ugly, she actually had the air of a heroine.

If you want to be a train driver, I won't stop you. The key is that you can't harm me. Li Aiguo slandered.

Before leaving the vehicle, Li Aiguo held a flashlight in one hand and an inspection hammer in the other, meticulously tapping the wheel springs, bearings and other parts, and judging whether the parts were in normal condition based on the sound.

What he didn't expect was that Huang Jing was also following behind, carefully observing the entire inspection process.

Under the bright sunshine, the steam locomotive made a dull chirping sound, and soon started to set off.

Huang Jing straightened up, wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "It's okay, I've heard too many dirty jokes. Masters, you don't have to worry about me."

Li Aiguo could not help but look high at Huang Jing.

Being able to do as the Romans do without being coy, this girl has the potential to be a train driver.

In fact, Li Aiguo has been observing Huang Jing since the driving started.

At the beginning, the girl was a little unfamiliar when adding coal. She hit the coal shovel on the furnace several times, and the black coal spilled all over the floor.

After Master Zheng's instruction, he quickly mastered the technique. He bent his front legs, kicked his back legs, and held firm with his hands, so that he could cast accurately.

When throwing coal into the hearth, sprinkle less in the middle and more on both sides, so that the coal will burn vigorously without a fan.

This theory sounds simple, but it is not so easy to actually implement it. This girl seems to be smarter than the average lesbian.

At this time, the weather was getting hotter, and the temperature in the driver's building reached over 40 degrees due to the baking in the furnace.

Huang Jing's clothes were soaked with sweat in a short time, and the sweat dripped down the skirt and fell to the ground.

She still shoveled coal into the furnace with a shovel in her hand, as if she didn't feel the heat.

"Old Zheng, give my apprentice some water." Li Aiguo winked at Master Zheng.

Huang Jing was only seventeen or eighteen years old, a few years older than Master Zheng's daughter. Master Zheng had already felt sorry for this girl, but he didn't dare to say anything because of Li Aiguo.

Now that he heard this, he quickly picked up the hot water bottle and poured an enamel jar of tea and handed it to Huang Jing, taking the coal shovel by the way.

"Xiao Huang, take a break first and have a drink of water."

"Thank you, Master Zheng." Huang Jing handed the coal shovel to Master Zheng, took the enamel jar and drank some water.

In the subsequent trip, Master Zheng and Huang Jing took turns shoveling coal.

Even Master Zheng gave Huang Jing a thumbs up for her display of spirituality.

"This girl is a good candidate for a stoker's job."

Huang Jing whispered: "I want to be a train driver, Master Zheng."

Master Zheng: "."

After several hours of getting along, the comrades in the driver group also accepted Huang Jing as a new member.

Train 131 ran all the way towards Jincheng.

After passing the military grain station, the train encountered heavy rain as warned by the dispatcher.

In the storm, the steam train roared, seeming to break the silence of the night.

Rain poured in violently from the car window, and muddy water splashed on the rails.

The driver's few sight lines were obscured by the raindrops on the window. Liu Qingquan stopped telling dirty jokes and stuck his head out of the side window to carefully observe the situation ahead.

Master Zheng looked at the heavy rain outside the car window and joked to Huang Jing: "Comrade Huang, you encountered this situation on the first day you got on the car. Are you afraid?"

Huang Jing said: "I'm afraid, but I know I can't be afraid."

Master Zheng was surprised: "What do you mean you can't be afraid?"

Huang Jing said: "As the driver team, we are responsible for the safety of thousands of passengers on the train. If we are afraid, what will the passengers do?"

This girl is quite honest.

In a storm, the splashing water almost matches the speed of the car, as if it wants to swallow the whole world.

Any normal person would be scared.

But some people can't be afraid.

This is the professionalism of train drivers.

Driving in such disastrous weather is very dangerous, so Li Aiguo was very alert.

"The railway track ahead seems to be submerged in water, but the depth is not a big problem. It should be enough for the train to pass." Liu Qingquan reported the situation outside from time to time.

Li Aiguo pulled the brake, slowed down the car, called Huang Jing over, poured a enamel pot of tea, and placed it on the dashboard.

"Master, do you want some tea?" Huang Jing was a little confused. At such a critical moment, Li Aiguo still had time to drink tea.

Li Aiguo didn't answer her. He controlled the large and small gates and observed the enamel jar.

Sudden.

He saw that the water surface of the enamel jar tilted and the tea overflowed from the jar.

It's very easy to put it down!
This move was so sudden and decisive that Liu Qingquan and the others did not react at all and almost fell to the ground.

Huang Jing firmly grasped the steel pipe on the driver's steel seat before she could stand firmly.

"Master, the water level is not high, why do you need to park the car?" Huang Jing asked. It was raining so hard outside, and parking the car might cause a lot of trouble.

Liu Qingquan and Lao Zheng also felt confused, but they did not ask. After the train stopped, Li Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, lit a cigarette, and took two light puffs.

Along with the smoke, spit out a sentence.

"The roadbed ahead was washed away."

"Master, how do you know?" Huang Jing said mid-sentence and quickly closed her mouth.

The water surface in the enamel tank is tilted. This means that the train track is tilted seriously to one side.

It turned out that the master asked her to pour water to check whether there was any problem with the rails.

Putting on her raincoat and climbing off the locomotive in the heavy rain, Huang Jing walked a short distance through the water and felt a chill behind her as she watched the scene in front of her.

I saw that the roadbed under the railway track ahead had been hollowed out by the erosion of the flood, and one side of the railway track was hanging in mid-air.

The color of the flood was turbid and the depth was not deep. Even if the co-driver saw the flood, he would think that the train could pass smoothly.

Huang Jing turned around and looked at the dozens of carriages behind the locomotive.

If it weren't for the enamel jar, these train cars might have been dumped into the flood by now.

A word came out of her mind, "It's not easy to become a train driver."

At this time, Captain Bai, who was in the rear car, also realized something was wrong after the train suddenly stopped.

At the same time, she urged the conductors to maintain order in the carriages and comfort passengers according to the predetermined plan.

While sending a waterman to the locomotive to ask what happened.

After learning that the track ahead had collapsed, Commander Bai's face turned ugly.

"Deputy captain, I leave the matters on the train to you. You must promise me that nothing will go wrong!"

"Don't worry, Captain Bai, we are one of the most advanced chartered crews in the country, and our crews are first-class in their work."

After receiving the assurance from the co-driver, Captain Bai rushed into the heavy rain and walked through the mud to the front of the locomotive without even having time to put on his raincoat.

Li Aiguo had already briefly surveyed the site.

Captain Bai pulled him into the locomotive and asked, "Driver Li, how is the situation? When can we pass?"

Li Aiguo took the towel handed over by Huang Jing, wiped the rainwater from his forehead and said: "The roadbed has completely collapsed. It is at least four to five hundred meters away. There will be no way to pass in the short term."

Upon hearing the news, the last luck in Commander Bai's heart disappeared.

Unlike cars, trains cannot turn around directly, and the track ahead cannot pass, which means that the train can only be stranded here.

Train No. 131 was stranded in heavy rain last year, but at that time only a small section of track was washed away.

Now it is a full four to five hundred meters long, and the bottom of the foundation has been hollowed out, making emergency repairs even more difficult.

What's more serious is that the heavy rain does not know when it will stop, and it is difficult to dispatch a rescue train before the rain stops.

Li Aiguo suggested: "Captain Bai, there are two to three thousand passengers on the train. The first thing we need to do is to prepare enough food and fresh water. As for the rescue, we can wait until later."

"Yes, yes, I will send people to the military food station to rescue them now and ask them to send food."

Captain Bai dispatched two policemen, put on raincoats, and headed to the ration station along the railway track.

It's just that this place is more than thirty miles away from the military ration station. It is difficult to travel in the storm. It will take at least a day to wait for the support of the military ration station.

It was almost noon, and there were so many passengers in the carriage that food was in short supply.

The driver team can only find a way to solve the problem of food and drink on their own.

"What? Our food has been withheld, why?!"

"There are many elderly people among the passengers, and the meals will be distributed to those elderly people first."

"Well done! I'm not hungry at all. It's a waste of food to eat."

Liu Qingquan got the news from the water deliveryman and knew that there was no way to count on the food in the train today.

"We, as train drivers, can still be hungry?"

Li Aiguo called Liu Qingquan, got out of the car with the inspection hammer, and disappeared into the crop field under the roadbed.

Huang Jing asked curiously: "Master Zheng, what are they doing?"

"Hunting." Master Zheng gave an answer she couldn't understand.

The train driver drives a big train, so does he still need to go hunting?
Besides, isn’t hunting in the mountains? There are no mountains here?
After a while, Huang Jing finally figured it out.

I saw Liu Qingquan coming back panting, tying his trousers to make a pocket, stuffing it full of green corn!

"Old Zheng, you put this thing in the furnace and bake it first. Driver Li is still waiting for me. I'll be back as soon as I go."

After saying that, Liu Qingquan ran away again.

He didn't look angry at all, but looked very happy.

"Master, what are they going to do?"

Huang Jing squatted down, opened the furnace, and held the corn cobs with tongs. After a while, the smell of burning came from the furnace.

At this time, the side door of the locomotive was opened from the outside.

Li Aiguo and Liu Qingquan rushed in like they were drowned in the rain and threw the few fish in their arms on the floor.

Those fish were still alive and jumped around on the floor a few times.

Huang Jing: "Fish?"

Li Aiguo smiled happily: "I was knocked unconscious by the flood and rolled onto the field ridge, which was an advantage for us."

Huang Jing looked at the green corn and then at the big fish. She felt that they were not trapped here, but on vacation.

Li Aiguo and others spent two hard days eating steamed corn and grilled fish.

The train from the military ration station delivered supplies in the rain.

Three days later, the Qianmen Locomotive Depot sent a rescue train to carry out emergency repairs on the road section that was washed away by the flood.

Five days after leaving the Qianmen Locomotive Depot, Train 131 finally returned to the Locomotive Depot.

"You have a day off tomorrow, Xiao Huang, and you have to read these books."

After the meeting, Li Aiguo handed several train books to Huang Jing.

"Master, thank you." Huang Jing held the books in her hands with joy in her heart.

She knew that the master accepted her.

Li Aiguo was quite satisfied with Huang Jing's performance in this difficult driving.

Able to stay calm in the face of danger and stick to her post, this girl is smart and learns quickly. She is indeed a good candidate to be a train driver.

Li Aiguo knows very well that as the studio grows, he will have less and less time to drive trains himself in the future.

It's time to train a successor and pass on your driving skills.

It's just that... we can't just let it go!

No one can take advantage of me, Li Aiguo!
In Duan Chang Xing’s office.

When Duan Chang Xing saw Li Aiguo sitting across from him in a menacing manner, he knew that this guy was here to find Hou Zhang.

He smiled bitterly and said: "Comrade Patriot, I know I promised not to arrange an apprentice for you, but isn't this a special situation?"

"How special?"

"Is the remediation task considered special?"

Duan Chang Xing took the initiative to pass a cigarette to Li Aiguo and said slowly: "You may not understand Huang Jing's situation. Her father's name is Huang Wensheng."

Huang Wensheng? Li Aiguo narrowed his eyes as if he had heard this name somewhere.

Duan Chang Xing: "Huang Wensheng went to the northern battlefield with Duan Dache. Duan Dache came back in one piece, but Huang Wensheng's legs were left there with very serious injuries.

His ideological consciousness was too high, so he declined the General Administration's kindness and returned to Jincheng Locomotive Depot to live with his daughter Huang Jing.

Huang Wensheng passed away last year, and Huang Jing proposed that she would take over her father's position and become a train driver.

Jincheng Locomotive Depot reported this situation to the General Administration.

The General Administration felt that we owed this little girl this, so we wanted to find the best master for her in the capital.

In addition, we also had the idea of ​​​​cultivating our own 38-pack crew, so we launched a global selection process.

Who made you, Li Aiguo, so famous?

So, this is not my fault. "

Li Aiguo heard his predecessor's father mention Huang Wensheng's deeds before.

Now that I understand Huang Jing's origins, I am determined to accept her as my apprentice.

First, all train drivers in the locomotive depot have the responsibility of taking care of their apprentices.

Secondly, Huang Jing's father died for the railway industry. She is determined to inherit her father's legacy, so Li Aiguo naturally has to help.

Even if a position like train driver is passed down from generation to generation, no one will have any objections.

On the contrary, not only does no one have any opinions, but they also look forward to more inheritance like this.

"Chief Duan, no matter what, as a senior section chief, you should stick to your word and promise me what you promised me, but you didn't do it!"

Of course, Li Aiguo would not give up this opportunity.

"Don't worry. In order to train Huang Jing, Jincheng gave our locomotive depot a large amount of sponsorship money. This money will be used as your bonus."

Duan Chang Xing said with a smile: "It's just that you can only get the money when Huang Jing officially becomes a train driver."

What a thief!

After chatting for a while, Li Aiguo was about to leave when Duan Chang Xing stood up and said: "The batch of automatic umbrellas you commissioned from the Hongqi Umbrella Factory in the past few days have been manufactured. Now the comrades from the Materials Department have sent the umbrellas to your studio."
